perfect pleats

2011-10-11T13:10:00.001-07:00

these pics are just boring WIP shots. pinning the bodice to the skirt, but I just thought the pleats were pretty neat, and I wanted to get them as perfect as I could. the interior of this dress will be finished just as nicely as the outside.

this orange color is pretty appropriate for the season right now too.

hobo doggie sweater #2

2009-01-26T13:15:00.000-08:00

this is the continuation of the first hobo sweater. this one is super simple too, just requires a bit of sewing. I used the same sweatshirt from before. this is not an exact pattern, but pretty close. first I measured the length of the dog from neck to tail. and measured around his neck as well. and then cut the sweatshirt material accordingly. I used the ribbed sweatshirt waistband as what will become the collar of the dog sweater.

then I folded it in half, right sides together. marked the area for his arm holes and where I need to sew, from the bottom of his neck to the chest area of the sweater. as you can see peanut is very excited to help!

below is the sweatshirt sewn, and with the arm holes cut. I did a zig-zag stitch all the way around the outer side, and also stitched around the arm holes as well to prevent fraying.

and here is the final result:

an apple a day....

2009-01-19T16:57:00.000-08:00

my plush apples are coming back soon! this is a juicy red. stay tuned for more info! they will be ripe and ready just in time for spring.

hobo doggie sweater

2009-01-12T14:54:00.000-08:00

last year this time we got a little doggie, named peanut. because it was so cold, I decided he needed a sweater. so I took an old sweatshirt and cut a piece from the arm.

I cut off the cuff, but sure to leave a bit of the wristband edge so it won't fray. then I cut the sweatshirt at the forearm, at an angle.

lastly cut 2 holes for his arms. he was so small then, he could fit in the wrist of a sweatshirt!

this was a year ago. next week I'll post a much larger hobo sweater I made for him using the rest of the blue sweatshirt.

happy holidays

2008-12-22T14:34:00.000-08:00

2008-11-19T14:50:00.000-08:00

2008-11-13T14:47:00.001-08:00

this card is kind of cool, because it is done with a new technique (similar to lenticular) which makes the snow flakes look animated. the above is an entire page of the card, but these individual gift cards are now at target stores.

back from oaska

2008-06-03T16:48:00.000-07:00

I had a great time in oaska, thank you to all my friends at dream ranch for taking such good care of us. good (new) food, and lots of fun!

these are the deer that guard nara park. they are so friendly you can walk right up and pet them. the park has been there for over a thousand years with generations of deer guarding it.

these giant statues were inside todaji temple.

I did 3 workshops while I was there, it was something I have never done before, challenging yet fun. I'll post the pattern and instructions later.

this is one of the display walls with my plush.

this is a 'Roo-tote' brand bag I designed. they collaborated with artists on a
mickey/minnie tote bag series.

SICK RATS!!

2008-02-18T19:09:00.000-08:00

it's the year of the RAT. one of nature's most disgusting creatures.
these drawings were all done on the smallest post-it's 2x1.5 inches.
I think I would like to do a lot of different animals like this. I have probably drawn at least 30 more rats just like this, but these were the only ones I copied.
